Might go with that Thinking about it dhenson might be onto it could be a digital signature to confirm he is the real owner of this account and there is a message there that someone can verify if they have the correct bitcoin address. http://localbitcoins.blogspot.ca/2013/05/signing-documents-with-bitcoin.html

Looks like they were deleted.
Does anyone have the text? It's too difficult to try and copy it from those images.

It could be anything really. It's not likely to be a signed message because you still need the message to verify it which he did not tweet. I'd like to try and find out what it was though I can't find the original text and copying it from the screenshot is a bad idea as I can't tell if those are small L's or I's or 1's etc. If someone can find the text of the tweets please post them here!

Reasons I can think of to sign a message: - Prove ownership/control of a bitcoin address. This wouldn't have required that he publicize the signature. He could have simply sent the message, address and signature privately. For that reason, I do not believe that this was the likely purpose.
- Prove at a later date that a message was written prior to him posting the signature. By posting the signature, he is providing a publicly verifiable proof that an as of yet unpublished message was created prior to a specific date/time. At a later date, the message could be revealed along with the bitcoin address that was used to sign with.
edit... The most likely explanation is that he enjoys being the center of attention and this is just nerd trolling.

This moron already cost enough people their money. He should crawl under a rock and get off any social media. I'm actually surprised no one tried to physically harm him. If I had lost thousands I would be all over his case.
In short I agree he's just trying to be cool

If it is legit, I also just believe it is a signature in order to verify some text or message really originated from him/his account. Why not send it via DM though... Then again the other party would need to follow you... Verification through private key signing on a centralized site? Oh the irony ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

When he could use email/telegraph/fax/another account not linked to him/cell phone/etc? Maybe he just bored and posted some nonsense, so people around the internet would waste time trying to guess what he posted?

Last thing I saw, he is living in an expensive apartment in Japan. I do not think he will go to jail, probably he has some protection by the Japanese government - as clearly he should have a trial.

No one really knows what happend yet... If someone came into a gold vault with a bunch of dudes and weapons and took all the gold would you arrest the guy that owned the vault...? However.. if a guy came to the vault.. and you opened it and let him take everything.. well...
